Locations
Labs, lecture halls, and classrooms for the Department of Pharmacology are found throughout the UCSD La Jolla campus/School of Medicine at the following locations:
Biomedical Sciences Building
BSB is a 6-story laboratory/research building located in the School of Medicine section of campus. It includes the Biomedical Library and the Dean's Office.
Leichtag Family Foundation Biomedical Research Building
Located in the School of Medicine with an assignable area of 85,882 square feet, the Leichtag Family Foundation Biomedical Building provides a space for the university’s cutting-edge biomedical research, particularly in the area of childhood diseases. The building was occupied in March 2004, thanks to a $12 million gift from the Leichtag Family Foundation. The foundation is a philanthropic force in the San Diego community, dedicated to alleviating human hardship and improving people’s quality of life. The foundation is optimistic that their support will help UC San Diego’s most talented scientists to make discoveries that will improve the health and well-being of the community.
Rebecca and John Moores UCSD Cancer Center
The UC San Diego Cancer Center was named for Rebecca and John Moores, whose generous gift enabled the construction of the facility, occupied in February of 2005.
Skaggs Pharmaceutical Sciences Building
Occupied in 2005, this five story building has an assignable area of 69,796 square feet that provides state-of-the art lab and instructional facilities for UC San Diego’s innovative pharmacy program. The Skaggs School of Pharmacy is the only public university school of pharmacy in Southern California, and one of only two public pharmacy schools in the state. Integrating clinical medicine, biotechnology and traditional pharmacy, the Skaggs School is setting the standard for the way the next generation of pharmacists will be trained.
Health Sciences Biomedical Research Facility II
The Biomedical Research Facility II is one of three LEED Platinum Certified buildings on campus. Sustainable features include a high efficiency air handling system, a dynamic exterior sun shade system, and high albedo roof surface. In addition, this facility hosts a recovery system for condensate water from air handling units that can be reused for irrigation and toilet flushing. LEED and Green Building are a part of UCSD’s carbon neutrality efforts.
Sanford Consortium/Stem Cell Building
In December 2011, the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine brought together researchers from the collaborating organizations under a single roof in a new world-class facility, funded in large part through a $43 million major facilities grant award from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). The facility, centrally located among the five-member institutions, is enabling scientists to share intellectual capital so that research may progress in a faster, smarter, and more effective manner.
Urey Hall
Urey Hall, located towards the entrance of Revelle Plaza in Revelle College, functions as a research and classroom facility for the physics department and other physical sciences. This facility is named in honor of the Nobel Prize Laureate Harold Urey who was a founding member of UC San Diego's School of Chemistry in 1960. (113)
